Other amenities include a fitness center on the 3rd floor, open 24 hours a day, and 5,000 sq. ft. of flexible meeting and event space.
The hotel is developed by Buccini/Pollin Group, which selected Mathes Brierre Architects, CallisonRTKL Architects and Broadmoor Construction to complete the hotel. New Orleans-based design firm Logan Killen Interiors was tapped to curate the hotel interiors.

Earlier in the year, Novotel selected four international designers to reimagine new design concepts for the brand and bring them to life at various Novotel locations around the globe. The Sundokovy Sisters, one of the chosen international design studios, led the creative design process for Novotel Mexico City Toreo’s suites, revealing a contemporary style that blends business with pleasure and well-being coupled with unique co-living spaces, according to the brand. Idea Asociados, a sustainable architectural firm in Mexico, designed the interiors for all the other areas of the hotel.
